operation.

Ford, Lincoln-Mercury, and Merkur vehicles.

The use of MERCON is NOT RECOMMENDED for power steering systems. The manual transmission lubricant for the 1985 Merkur XR4Ti
is a semi-synthetic oil. When adding oil to the transmission, use only E5RY-19C547-A (Ford Specification ESD-M2C175-A) or equivalent.
